Line Charts
To know about the first 12 types of Tableau
Charts, click here to go to Part 01!
Line Charts are highly suitable for displaying ten
dencies and shifts over time hence a date Field i
s a prime requirement for this chart type. There
are three types of Line Charts, Continuous Line
Chart Discrete Line Chart, and Dual Line
Chart. Lets take a look at each in the mentioned
order. 13. Continuous Line Chart Minimum
Requirements 1 date 0 or more dimensions 1 or
more measures For instance, if you want to show
the sales margin of a particular product over
time, such as over a year, or two years, or even
a span of six months, the Continuous Line Chart
will do the work! You can present the sales margin
of more than one product simultaneously by adding
more lines that are differently colored.

14. Discrete Line Chart
Minimum Requirements 1 date 0 or more
dimensions 1 or more measures The difference
between the Discrete Line Chart and Continuous
Line Chart depends on the type of data fields
that are associated with each. The two types of
data fields are Discrete and Continuous fields,
mapped accordingly to the former and latter
chart types. Continuous fields contain an
infinite number of values, while Discrete fields
contain finite values. 15. Dual Line
Chart Minimum Requirements 1 date 0 or more
dimensions 2 measures The Dual Line Chart, also
known as the Dual Axis Chart, allows you to
present two Measures with two different axes.
The Measures are assigned to two axes on either
side of the horizontal axis, thereby making it
easier to compare two Measures over the same
time period.

16. Continuous Area Chart
Minimum Requirements 1 date 0 or more
dimensions 1 or more measures The Area Chart, in
general, has the characteristics of both the Line
Chart and the Stacked Bar Chart. It helps you to
distinctly display the relative proportions of
totals or the percentage relationships between
Dimensions. In the event of more than one
Dimension, the Area Chart stacks the volume, in
colour, beneath the Line. As a result, the total
of the fields and also, their comparative size of
Measures will be displayed accordingly. 17.
Discrete Area Chart Minimum Requirements 1
date 0 or more dimensions 1 or more measures The
Discrete Area Chart is quite similar to the
Continuous Area Chart the only difference is
that the former deals with discrete values. Like
the Discrete Line Chart, the Discrete Area Chart
allows you to break down the graph as per your
requirement.

18. Dual Combination
Minimum Requirements 1 date 0 or more
dimensions 2 measures The Dual Combination Chart
has the layout of a Dual Line Chart, one common
axis, the X-axis for the date, and two separate
axes, the Y-axes for two different Measures.
However, it uses multiple Mark Types for the
Measures in the same sheet, hence the word,
combination. A common variant of the Dual
Combination Chart is the Line-and-Bar, provided
by Tableau. In the Line-and-Bar Combination type,
the first step is similar to creating a complete
Dual Line Chart. Once the Second Measure gets
dropped into the View, a new Marks shelf will get
generated. Now, the Mark for each Measure can be
changed independently of each other, resultantly
allowing you to create a View containing a
combination of Mark Types.
